Redleaf Group was engaged by Healthy Land and Water Ltd to conduct heritage assessments along Laidley Creek. The project required desktop legislative review of cultural heritage requirements, including categorisation of risks as per the Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Duty of Care Guidelines. A field survey was conducted to determine existence of heritage values and significant vegetation. Consultation with the Aboriginal Party was required due to identified potential remnant vegetation and artefacts.
